Abstract:
A method of generating ozone by applying a silent discharge to oxygen as a first raw material gas, and an oxide compound gas, as a second raw material gas, in which excited light, excited and generated by a discharge in the oxygen and the oxide compound gas, dissociates the oxide compound gas, or excites the oxide compound gas, accelerating dissociation of the oxygen and generation of ozone. In this way, ozone generation efficiency is raised.
Abstract:
There is provided a highly efficient and compact ozone generating apparatus in which a very short air gap of about 0.2 mm is formed at high accuracy. Non-discharge portions are dispersed and disposed to cover an entire discharge space, or a spacer is provided to form the non-discharge portion. Further, an elastic body is mounted on a back face of an electrode, thereby enhancing an air gap accuracy of the discharge space.
Abstract:
A portable compact ozone generator for producing a consistent source of ozone portably that eliminates nitrous oxides and nitric acid. The device includes a small air compressor that provides compressed ambient air to a pair of molecular sieves that eliminate humidity and concentrates oxygen to provide a source of dry oxygen to the ozone generator.
Abstract:
An ozone generator comprising at least one but preferably a plurality of electrostatic ozone generating units located in a first enclosed compartment and being individually powered by respective transformers which are located in a second enclosed compartment and which are air cooled by blower means. The air flowing over the transformers is then fed into the compartment including the ozone generating units where ozone is generated and fed therefrom. In another embodiment, a booster is coupled to the ozone generating compartment for blending a large volume of outside air with the generated ozone and includes another housing or compartment including second blower means therein as well as a bifurcated input mixing tube having a pair of input arms and a single output arm and wherein one of the input arms is connected to the second blower means while the other input arm is connected to the ozone generating compartment. The single output arm delivers a relatively large volume of an air and ozone mixture into the surrounding atmosphere.

Abstract:
Ozone is added to captured water by a method and apparatus which involves corona discharge into an oxygen-containing gas in regions in a generator which alternate with regions where the newly formed ozone is cooled. The alternating corona and cooling regions permit the ozone to form without being thermally decomposed as soon as it is formed. Also disclosed is an overall system and method of controlling the level of dissolved ozone in a body of captured water which modulates the output of an ozone generator in accordance with readings of oxidation-reduction potential in the water.
Abstract:
An apparatus for the treatment of purification of a fluid by treatment with a treating fluid in a flow pipe. The flow pipe has a flat plate orifice located therein, which orifice has an internal diameter of from about 0.7 to about 0.9 of the internal diameter of the pipe. A vena contracta portion is located in the flow pipe at a distance of from 0.25 to 0.5 pipe diameters downstream from said flat plate orifice. An injection nozzle for introducing the treating fluid into the flow pipe extends through the flat plate orifice with the tip of the injection nozzle being located in the vena contracta portion so that the fluid is thoroughly treated by the treating fluid.
Abstract:
A periodically reversed gas flow method and apparatus for ozone production is described. Because moisture reduces the efficiency of most ozonizers, moisture is removed from an oxygen containing fluid before it passes through the ozonizer and the moisture is returned to the oxygen and ozone containing fluid after the ozonizer. At least two moisture adsorbent material columns are used so that the oxygen containing fluid is first passed serially through the two columns with the ozonizer interposed and then periodically reversed to pass serially through the three components in the opposite direction so that at least one column is always in an adsorbent cycle while at least another column is always in a desorber cycle. The pressure of the oxygen containing fluid may be increased immediately upstream of the adsorber column and reduced immediately downstream of the adsorber column, for increased efficiency. The heat of adsorption is transferred from the adsorber column to the desorber column to provide the heat of desorption at the latter column, with the ozonizer serially interposed; the coolant fluid flow is preferably cocurrent to the oxygen fluid flow and reversed everytime that the oxygen containing fluid flow is reversed.
